	AC. No. 6788 2007-08-23	DIANA RAMOS v. ATTY. JOSE R. IMBANG PER CURIAM
Lawyers are expected to conduct themselves with honesty and integrity.[23] More specifically, lawyers in government service are expected to be more conscientious of their actuations as they are subject to public scrutiny. They are not only members of the bar but also public servants who owe utmost fidelity to public service.[24]

[8] De Guzman v. De Dios, A.C. No. 4943, January 26, 2001, 350 SCRA 320, 324.
	AC. NO. 5580 2005-06-15	SAN JOSE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION INC. v. ATTY. ROBERTO B. ROMANILLOS PER CURIAM
To say that lawyers must at all times uphold and respect the law is to state the obvious, but such statement can never be overemphasized. Considering that, "of all classes and professions, [lawyers are] most sacredly bound to uphold the law," it is imperative that they live by the law. Accordingly, lawyers who violate their oath and engage in deceitful conduct have no place in the legal profession.[15]
	AC. No. 5131 2004-09-22	JOSE E. ORIA v. ATTY. ANTONIO K. TUPAZ YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.
Respondent is required by his oath to conduct himself as a lawyer according to the best of his knowledge and discretion with all good fidelity to the courts as well as to his clients. The lawyer's oath is a source of obligations and violation thereof is a ground for suspension, disbarment, or other disciplinary action.[5] Any departure from the path which a lawyer must follow as demanded by the virtues of his profession shall not be tolerated by this Court as the disciplining authority.[6]
